BOXSCORE 1 | BOXSCORE 2 FORT MYERS, FLA. – The Fredonia State baseball team wrapped up its southern trip in fine fashion as juniors Angelo Sciandra and Zach Murray combined on a no hitter in a 7-0 victory over Skidmore College.

Skidmore claimed the opener, 4-1.

Sciandra started Game 2 after tossing a scoreless inning to end Game 1. He retired the first five batters before brushing Dan Panozzi with a hit by pitch. An infield popup ended the second.

After a groundout to Sciandra, the nine hitter worked his way on with a walk. A strikeout and popout squelched that rally.

Sciandra issued a walk to start the third. After a popout, another walk put runners at first and second. Sciandra was then removed and Murray entered the game. He induced a fielder's choice, putting runners at the corners with two out. Murray then punched out Nick Barra looking to end the inning.

Murray began the fifth inning with back-to-back walks with the top of the order up. A strikeout, infield popout and grounder to third ended the inning.

Murray allowed one more runner in the final two innings on a two out walk in the sixth. All told, the duo walked six and struck out three. The only loud out came on a line drive to center to end the third inning.

“Ace and Murray struggled with their command all game, but they both battled,” said head coach Matt Palisin. “I had planned on only three innings from Ace. He had the no-hitter going and talked his way back onto the mound in the fourth. The big thing was, he had not given up any hard hit balls. He had six popups, a strike out and a weak comebacker to that point. They were not squaring him up.”

Skidmore had come in on an offensive hot streak, scoring 21 runs the day before.

Offensively, the Devils scored two in the second. A hit by pitch – one of seven issued by Skidmore pitchers on the day – an error and a sacrifice put runners on second and third. Sean Urckfitz ripped a single to plate the first run. Alex Foster grounded out for the second run.

The Devils scored three more in the fifth. A single and two hit by pitches loaded the bases. Dan Greco had a two-run single. Ryan Carmody the beat out a double play ball as the Devils added the third run of the inning to take a 5-0 lead.

The Devils added two more in the sixth. Dan Fetes had a two-out single. He stole second and Dillon Lowe walked. A double steal and an errant throw accounted for the first run. Brian Sheehan drove in the final run on a base hit.

Jake Nowak had two hits to pace the Devils.

Game 1 saw Zach Hugg make a quality start. Skidmore scored one run on a two-out infield hit. Three runs in the fifth came after a pair of Devil miscues.

Chris Messina and Dan Greco had two hits in Game 1.

The Devils finish their trip with a 5-8 mark.
